Young Kyle Connor has himself tattooed with his own original design before he and wheeler-dealer friend Budgie head off for a working holiday in the Cook Islands. Here Kyle persuades a reluctant Budgie to join him in drinking a forbidden local brew avatavi, provided by barman Dries, who warns them of the ghostly white lady of Manutaki. The drink causes Kyle to hallucinate, seeing a woman in a red dress who seems scared by his tattoo and runs away. Next day whilst swimming Kyle sees the same woman's drowned body but when the police look it has gone. Later he sees a photo of her in an old Maori's hut and learns from Maui Vaipiti and his girlfriend Lara that she is his sister Aumea, who is alive and well. Indeed Aumea does turn up - minus the tattoo she had in his vision - but Kyle is convinced that he has had a premonition and she will die unless he prevents it. Written by don @ minifie-1

Kyle continues to imagine seeing Aumea's tattoo as in his vision but when he asks for an explanation from the local tattoo artist he is chased away and Aumea's family is also hostile. However Aumea comes to see him, intrigued, as the tattoo he has seen is her wedding tattoo, a sacred symbol which will only be revealed when she marries. She also recognizes Kyle's tattoo as a local Shamanic symbol, something he could not have known back in England and confides in her father - concerned too that Maui may be managing the family business dishonestly. Kyle believes he must drink more tavi to see what will happen next and surprisingly only Aumea will supply it. Under its influence he sees the ghost of long dead chief Matikutu, an ancestor of Aumea who beseeches Kyle to save her. Written by don @ minifie-1

Aumea's family is angry to learn that Kyle had taken more tavi but Aumea is intrigued when he tells her about his vision. The Maori elder approaches Kyle, telling him he has the gift of second sight but the Vaipitis take a less charitable view and allow the vicar, Calcott, to attempt an unsuccessful exorcism on Kyle. Dries leans on the cash-strapped Budgie to smuggle black pearls to the mainland for him whilst Aumea, having seen evidence of Matikutu's existence, starts to believe Kyle and, along with Budgie, they take a flight to the mainland.

On the plane to New Zealand Aumea tells the boys of an island legend which led to the absence of all lakes, whilst on arrival they are met by Aumea's future husband, the urbane Koringo. He is intrigued by Kyle's story but Kyle recognizes him as an adversary in one of his visions. Next day Budgie is abducted by a biker gang, after the pearls - and Kyle also recalls one of them from a vision. Koringo rescues Budgie, who keeps back three of the pearls and is later pursued and run over, whilst back on the island Maui - Dries's smuggling accomplice - suspects rightly that Lara is an undercover cop who has tipped off the New Zealand police about the pearls and barmaid Tyler is shocked when she reads Calcott's journal.

Budgie lies in a coma and Kyle is interviewed by police but the speed with which Koringo manages to have him released makes Kyle suspicious of him. Koringo tells Aumea about the pearls stolen from her father and her brother's part in the theft whilst back on the island an increasingly excited Calcott tells Tyler that the new resurrection will take place on Aumea's wedding day and Kyle will have a crucial role to play. Following another vision Kyle fears that he will be Aumea's slayer and not her saviour and recounts to the spirit of the old chief how he had previously been responsible for another death. However the chief tells him that this was a false vision and that his tattoo gives him the power to change events. With this in mind he revives a shade of the comatose Budgie, visible only to himself and returns to the island with him. Written by don @ minifie-1

As her wedding tattoo is prepared Aumea confronts Maui about the theft, unaware that he is planning to blame everything on Dries, whom he has murdered. Kyle interrupts Calcott's sermon with an apology for his past actions, to a mixed reception after which Tyler tells him about Calcott's belief about the new resurrection and they search in vain to find his diary. The invisible shade of Budgie discovers that Lara is an undercover cop as well as eavesdropping on Aumea's family as they discuss Kyle's fate. Kyle is challenged to an endurance race with Koringo, which he wins, thanks to advice from the ghostly chief. At the same time the real Budgie wakes up in hospital, rendering the spirit version unable to help Kyle as he once more faces danger. Written by don @ minifie-1

Budgie wakes up bodily in hospital in New Zealand whilst Kyle watches the wedding preparations go ahead and tries to persuade Aumea to escape with him. He also sees Dries' ghost and is able to lead Lara to the grave, telling her he knows who she is. As a result Maui is arrested for smuggling and his part in Dries' murder. Budgie returns to the island with evidence to connect Koringo to the bikers but is hauled in for the pearl smuggling. Elsewhere Aumea suddenly starts to see that Kyle's predictions may be accurate but is persuaded by Koringo to destroy her red wedding dress to stop them coming true. Written by don @ minifie-1

Whilst Koringo persuades Aumea that she is now safe Lara is amazed to find no record of his existing before 2009. The chief tells Kyle that he must steal Calcott's book to discover his plan but the vicar and biker heavies capture Kyle and Budgie. Kyle now realizes that Calcott believes that he has to kill Aumea so that she can be reborn and, helped by Tyler, escapes to warn her. But she is now in the clutches of Calcott and Koringo, who reveals his true identity and purpose in wanting to marry Aumea. Kyle must summon what allies he has on the island to save her.
